Equivalent circuit model of on-wafer CMOS interconnects for RFICs.

Equivalent circuit model of on-wafer CMOS interconnects for RFICs.

This paper investigates the properties of the on-wafer interconnects built in a 0.18-μm CMOS technology for RF applications. A scalable equivalent circuit model is developed. The model parameters are extracted directly from the on-wafer measurements and formulated into empirical expressions. The exp...
